Plot Outline:
8 young adults have won a free holiday to Stormborough Island, where they will be staying for a month of relaxation.
However, they soon learn that the island is home to a multitude of supernatural entities, insistant on making their new guests stay, forever.
Basically I wanted to do a supernatural horror-esque RP which sees a bunch of people fighting for their lives against after finding out that their 'free holiday' isn't going to be as relaxing as they think. I was inspired by the game Until Dawn and more recently American Horror Story, so it will most likely draw inspiration from that.
The Island-
The Cabin-
This beautiful cabin is where everyone will be staying on the island, there is a bedroom for each person, complete with ensuite bathrooms, and a dining area with a kitchen downstairs, chock-full of ingredients.
The Forest-
The island is home to vast forestry and a large amount of fauna. However, it is recommended that you don't stray too deep, we wouldn't want you getting lost.
The Beach-
And here we have the beach! Perfect for fun activities such as barbecues, volleyball or even a swim!
The Cliffs-
To the very north of the island, we have the cliffs. A place to come if you simply want to watch the sunset, or listen to the sea.
The Mines-
And lastly, there's the abandoned mines. Due to safety hazards, you are forbidden from entering here.
Rules-
1. There are limited positions available here, so only one character per person.
2. The plot is driven by all of us. Don't be afraid to push it forward. If you have ideas, go through with them!
3. Try to write at least a paragraph per response. This will help develop the plot, as well as characters, further. If you are struggling for inspiration and are finding it difficult to write longer responses, just say. We've all been there.
4. Relationships are allowed, and in fact encouraged. However, all sexual activity must be censored or avoided. eg. Fade to black. It is fine for activity to be referenced, but must be done so in a non-explicit way. Adult characters or not, no-one needs to hear in detail about what you get up too.
5. Be respectful of everyone. Any form of abuse toward someone else will not be tolerated.
6. Try to be active. At the very least, one post per day. If you aren't going to be able to do that for some reason eg. Holiday or personal problems, please let us know.
7. Controversial topics are allowed. So if your character suffers with mental illness, or has experience in anything potentially triggering or controversial, it is allowed.
8. Characters have a big part in this, so try to develop them as much as you can. Develop their personality, backstory, make them three dimensional.
9. If you have read this, please add 'ghost' to the other section of your form.

Personality: Dan is introverted and reclusive, he finds socialisation awkward and would seek to avoid it as much as possible. He is heavily sarcastic and somewhat cynical in his outlook on life, which stems from his own philosophical views. He can be prickly to begin with, although once he's warmed up, he's incredibly easy-going and casual. Which doesn't take too long with some people, as he can just 'click' with someone at the start. Dan is very open-minded and often has difficulty making decisions and forming opinions because of this. He struggles when put under pressure and is prone to bouts of anxiety, especially when he's stressed or uncomfortable. He finds it easier to be confident and sociable around confident and sociable people, it is for this reason he tends to prefer the company of extroverts over fellow introverts. He is somewhat playful in personality and will often respond to others in a similar manner, for example, if you are friendly to him he will be friendly back, or if you tease him he will tease you back. Although he is awkward and somewhat sensitive, he enjoys a bit of banter and doesn't generally take conversation too seriously, making him easy to get on with most of the time. He is also overly cautious, and freaks out over anything remotely dangerous. This is mainly due to anxiety, as he tends to worry about random things, including possible outcomes for potentially dangerous events. Dan has a strong dislike of conflict as well, and will try his best to be a mediator in such an event. Even though he's not the best with people, he hates seeing others upset and will try to make them feel better the best he can.
Personality Type: INTP
Alignment: Neutral Good
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Is your character allowed to pursue a relationship? Yep, go for it! Although Dan is very reluctant to initiate things :p
History: Dan was born and raised in the UK as an only child. He was an intelligent student and graduated school with good grades, having an aptitude toward English and seeking to become an author in his future. He attended university to study English Literature, although dropped out due to mental health problems and has since been struggling to make a living, hoping to use the holiday as a means to relax and write his first novel without having to worry too much about his health or outside pressures.
Theme Song: Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)- Fall Out Boy
Plotting Ideas: He's someone who generally stays up ridiculously late or just doesn't sleep it all, so it would be pretty easy for him to discover spoopy things.
That and he'd be good at attracting supernatural entities to the area, since his default mood is anxious and they're attracted by fear.
I also volunteer for him to have bucket loads of angst thrown his way, the more the better. angst is what i live off.
Text Colour: This colour.
Trivia/Other:
Dan was in a friends-with-benefits situation with his best-friend from school, Charlie, for about a year. At the time, Charlie had been experimenting with his sexuality and was eager to start experimenting with men and Dan had recently come out to the world about his own sexuality. Seeing as they had such a close bond of trust, as were both eager to explore their sexuality, the two agreed to experiment with one another for some time. Dan knew what he was getting into, that he was merely Charlie's experiment and that this was a no-strings-attached relationship. Despite this, he still fell for Charlie, hard. Over time, Dan's feelings for his best-friend grew worse, to the point where he eventually cut out their 'time' together, because each small encounter was making him feel worse and worse. Charlie didn't understand why Dan had called a stop to them seeing one another and grew upset by it, promptly leading to an awkward confession of love, in which Dan was painfully rejected. He has since pushed Charlie away, alongside the majority of his other friends, out of the crippling fear of rejection. He has found it incredibly difficult to approach others regarding his feelings since and refuses to take the initiative when it comes to relationships due to lack of self-worth and fears of rejection.
Dan was diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder at the age of 16 and later diagnosed with depression at 19. This put a strain on both his school life, as well as his relationships with family and friends. He pushed everyone away from him, due to feelings of low self worth, later isolating himself fully after moving away to attend university. Due to his lack of a support network, Dan later dropped out of university due to academic struggle brought on by his declining mental health. He has since been doing bar work in order to pay for his apartment and his been regularly taking medication to cope better, which has had a positive impact on his life, helping him function better on a day to day basis.
-Dan suffers with mental illness. He has been diagnosed with anxiety and is also prone to bouts of recurring depression. He takes medication for both.
-Dan is a big fan of fandoms. Especially television and music. Although, he's also a massive book nerd (Harry Potter was his childhood and has remained with him ever since)
-He's also massive emo trash and went through an emo phase in his teens, that'd he'd never like to be reminded of again.
-Dan is a cat person.
-Dan can easily be won over with food. Food is a huge driving force of his most of the time.
-He tends to joke about his problems and has a dark sense of humour, this is somewhat of a coping mechanism for him.
-Dan has a tendency to only wear dark coloured clothing, mainly black. This is carried over from his emo phase.
-He hates exercise. With every fibre of his being. The only exercise he'll ever do is Just Dance, and even then he's reluctant.
-Dan is easily jumpscared, it is for this reason that he refuses to play horror games. And will probably freak out over every small sound.
-Dan finds it difficult to work when people are watching him.
-He is not a big fan of physical affection, and will become uncomfortable when touched or hugged. There's not a particular reason for this, he just finds it awkward.
-Dan is pretty good at rapping and has a relatively nice voice, although he only tends to sing to himself and when no-one is around.
-He is also a gay mess. When he catches feelings, he catches them bad. And he also becomes easily embarrassed around men he is attracted to.
-Dan has a tendency to feel more confident around confident people. He tends to prefer the company of extroverts, or more socially adept people because of this.
-Dan refuses to take the initiative when it comes to relationships, this is due to a crippling fear of rejection stemming from a past experience.
-He owns a black cat called Loki. Dan loves Loki more than anything else in the world.
-He is pacifistic and will generally try to be a mediator in any form of conflict. He rarely uses violence, since he doesn't get to the state required to do so often.
-The only way for him to turn violent is in situations that cause extreme rage for him, such as seeing another treated badly. Even so, violence is always a last resort, and if he can talk the other party out of it, he will.
-Dan's biggest fear is fear itself. Spiritual entities can physically manifest as him for this reason, seeing as the source of all his fear comes from himself.
-He doesn't sleep easily, finding himself awake most nights due to plaguing anxiety. The only time he generally gets rest is if he physically passes out from exhaustion, or manages to calm his raging thoughts enough to get some rest. During the night, he is generally most productive and spends the majority of time doing chores or working.
-Dan used to drink a lot of alcohol in the past, although stopped shortly after something happened which he calls 'the incident'. He refuses to elaborate on what 'the incident' is, but it almost cost him his life. So he has refused to drink alcohol since, out of fears of it happening again.
-His Hogwarts house identification is Slytherin. Although, he also feels a strong connection to Ravenclaw.
-He has had a lot of one night stands in the past. This is due to his fear of rejection. He'd rather spend a single night with someone and never see them again, than develop feelings and risk rejection.
